I'm a big Buddy Holly fan. When @sk76 posted a great Buddy photo earlier, he mentioned this piece from Vanity Fair in 2009 for the 50th anniversary of Buddy's death where a photographer unearthed the one he posted and others. Never-before-seen photos this photographer took of Buddy and the Crickets. These photos are must-sees. A fascinating slice of music history. Another genius gone so young - just briefly after these photos were taken.
The people have spoken. You want a long music thread. So tonight, I'm sharing an absolutely nasty playlist that includes rock, hip hop, electronic, and outsider music.
Buckle your seat belts. It's about to get real.
First up is this live performance of "Ghost Riders" by the electronic punk band Suicide. Interesting fact about Suicide: they were the first band to call themselves "punk".
